Syrian President Bashar Assad has stated peace with Israel is possible
within a time span of six
months, but once again threatened war should peace not be forthcoming.
But so far Prime Minister Olmert has ruled out any peace agreement with
Syria. Bashar Assad has been seeking the return of the Golan Heights in
exchange for an agreement with Israel, but with Syrian support for Hizbullah
in the latest war, along with support for terrorist groups such as Islamic
Jihad, it is unlikely peace will be forthcoming. If Israel did negotiate an
agreement with Syria at this time, they would in effect be creating a third
Gaza Strip in the north, from which Syrian-sponsored terrorist organizations
could attack Israel.

Quote: "In an interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais,
the Syrian president said: "Our vision regarding peace stated that no
more than two years should pass since we set out for the Madrid conference
(and until the negotiations are completed)... if we want to renew talks from
the same point we stopped, then the talks need six months."

President Assad, in line with Biblical prophecy, also called on Europe
to become involved in the Middle East peace process.

Quote:"In the interview, Assad also said the United
States "was not a fair co-sponsor" of the stalled Mideast peace
process and called on Europe to take an active role. "Regrettably there
is not another international power that can replace it (the US), and at the
same time, the United States should not be alone, and here is where Europe's
role comes in," he said.
